Merry Christmas Field Notes Collective. Here is a card from Mark and Troy….who are still making weekly treks into the Oldman River Valley as part of their art-science collaboration.
In the new year, stay tuned for meeting plans. After the glow of Ecotone, there is a call for more. Anxious to hear your ideas on where to next for projects and us.
Best for 2012!

Hello Collective, Just a reminder to join us in the opening of the SAAG exhibition, ‘Mapping a Prairie City, Lethbridge and its Suburbs’ this Friday (opening to start at 5:00 pm, and exhibition will run June 24 – September 11 at SAAG). As you know, 6 artist-scientist pairs will have their work incorporated or mentioned in the exhibition, and a brochure for the Field Notes Collective will be available at the SAAG – off site locations and events indicated therein. I’m excited for us to all share in this debut event for the FNC, so for those in town, look forward to seeing you at the opening. Rose
